To start off, participants fill out a baseline form to determine fitness level, vitality, perceived stress and fatigue. In addition, a functional assessment is completed at the beginning and end of the program.

The exercise program consists of three fitness components. These components are tailored to suit the individual needs of each participant. All sessions are conducted in groups of up to 12 participants under direct supervision by qualified YMCA coaches.

This helps ensure the use of proper technique and minimises the risk of injury.
